==== Elixir of Death ====

This foul black liquid smells of death and decay. It is an incredibly toxic to all living things, and is rumored to be the only thing that can poison a deity. Powerful necromancers sometimes use the Elixir of Death in their rituals to transform them into Liches, or worse.

'''Creation:''' Creating this Elixir requires 3 Negative Energy gems and an Astral Diamond as the base materials.

'''Effect:''' A living creature that so much as tastes this evil brew must make a DC 20 Fortitude save or die. If such a creature consumes the entire Elixir it dies instantly and irrevocably without a save, its body rotting and its soul snuffed out like a candle (this is a Death effect). Not even a Wish can return it to life. If consumed as part of a necromantic ritual (involving at least 12 hours of incantations and unholy magics) it instead transforms the imbiber into an undead creature - the imbibers type permanently changes to Undead with the Dark Minded subtype.
